Sheldon Mayer Eliminated in 4th Place ($466,620)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Sheldon Mayer opened to 440,000 on the button with Q♦J♦ and Malcolm Trayner defended the big blind with 5♥4♠.
The J♠5♣7♦ flop gave both a lot to work with, and action checked to the 5♦ turn. Trayner bet out 800,00 after turning trips and Mayer stuck around having flopped top pair.
The 3♠ river kept Trayner ahead, and he moved all in, asking for Mayers remaining 3,500,000. Mayers couldn't get away and snap called, leaving the tournament in 4th place. Trayner left the hand sitting with over half the chips in play.
